Webinar presented by Mr. Zuhair Haddad, CCT's Chairman for the Lean Construction Institute on 1 September 2016.
Hospitals are ecosystems of diverse functions: laboratories, imaging units, ERs, surgery and operating rooms, inpatient quarters, etc. This makes building them one of the most complex tasks, specifically room completion systems as each set of rooms have their own furnishing and finishing requirements. This entails the existence of several number of trades, where coordination grows exponentially in importance. King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan is a prime example with fast track requirements (3 years delivery) which increase the complexity further.
Join in this webinar Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), a leading global construction contractor who will share the above case study where BIM, advanced work packaging and Lean were implemented in an integrated approach to manage the finishing activities for the hospital. The presenter will share some of key drivers for the success of this implementation:
• BIM authoring requirements to suit project controls
• Leveraging BIM to manage schedule, cost, sub-contractors, and material delivery.

• Assessing Direct and Indirect Impact of Changes (Delay
and Disruption, lost productivity & rework)
• Quantification and Justification of Claims
4. Simulation at CCC
• Material Forward Planning (piping)
• Earthworks
• Asphalt Paving
• Pipe Fabrication and Erection
• Pipeline Construction
• Building Finishing Activities
5. • Pipe spool fabrication
– A major component of construction operations on
large industrial projects
– Relatively short term, complex construction process
– Riddled with uncertainty due to the intrinsic unique
nature of its outputs and the numerous factors
affecting its activities
– Directly affects pipe installation
• Important for all stakeholders to have a good grasp
of the performance of pipe fabrication shops and
their ability to meet the site pipe installation
schedules
Pipe Spool Fabrication
6. Pipe Spool Fabrication
• Fabrication Managers or Subcontractors want to
“optimize” their operations:
– fabricate large bore/heavy spools early in the process
– fabricate even if out of sequence
• For in-house shops: this keeps manpower busy
• For subcontractors: this allows them to earn more
cash up front (usually paid by tonnage)
• Fabricating out of sequence material required for
critical activities leads to delays and disruptions in
the fabrication and site installation process

15. Pipe Spool Fabrication
• Fabrication needs to meet site installation
schedule
• Site sequences should drive fabrication
sequences (i.e. Priority areas, levels [bottom to
up], etc…)
• A balance between fabrication shop productivity
and cohesion to site installation schedules and
priorities needs to exist:
– Fabrication of spools adheres to site installation
schedule
– Fabrication shop manpower idle is kept to a minimum
– Critical material is available for critical activities
16. Pipe Spool Fabrication
• Pipe construction managers need to be able to
quickly come up with alternate
fabrication/installation plans based on changing site
conditions:
– Major piece(s) of equipment delayed or damaged
– Material shortage(s)
– Redesign of a system or structure
17. • Forecasting pipe spool fabrication activity
completion and optimizing resource allocation and
utilization are complicated by two main factors:
– very large number of spools
– diverse characteristics and resource requirements for each
spool
• A complex task well suited to computer modeling
and simulation
Pipe Spool Fabrication
18. How can the Pipe Spool Fabrication Simulator help?
• The pipe spool fabrication simulator provides stakeholders and end users
with a tool to proactively perform schedule validation and low level
resource planning on pipe fabrication activities on large industrial projects
• The simulation model can be run during the different phases of a project:
– Ahead of the project in predictive mode
– During execution to aid in optimization and forecasting
– Retrospectively for change impact assessment and/or lessons-learned analysis
• It helps answer questions such as:
– Will we be able to finish the fabrication activities on time with the proposed
resources?
– Which specific resources are bottlenecks?
– Which resources are under-utilized?
– How is actual crew productivity compared to planned and forecast
productivities
19. Simulation Model
• Abstraction of the real world pipe spool fabrication
process into a simulation model representing the
operations of a pipe spool fabrication shop:
– What are we producing?
• Spools & their characteristics
• Joints & characteristics
– How are we producing them?
• Fabrication activities/flow
• Resources required

Detecting Productivity Anomalies
• Fabrication activities on site were compared to
simulator runs to detect and emphasize productivity
anomalies
• We can notice a marked decline in February and
increase in March
35. Future Work
• Further development and enhancements to this
model include:
– A material constraint module (Material Forward
Planning)
– Full integration with CCC’s C3D construction
management software
– A pipe installation simulation model covering pipe
spool construction activities up to when spools are
installed on site and given final release
The ability of computer based modeling and simulation to model resource and activity interactions, queuing, and uncertainties renders it a good fit for modeling the pipe spool fabrication process.
